    Sorry,
    Yes, I was referring to Todd's experiment but I could not remember whether he put the cells in a Gen 3 or Gen 2.
    There is a recent posting where Toyota says the Gen 4 uses a different Nickel alloy to improve energy density in Gen 4. I hope it improves battery life too. I know we are only referring to Trim One & Two. The others have a totally different battery chemistry.

    I remember now. I just found it again. It was a Gen 2. Gen 4 cells in a Gen 2 | PriusChat
    But, as we so often do, we digress. :D

    Here is the quote about Gen 4 battery improvement:

    Newly developed high performance and nickel-metal hydride batteries (which use Hyper prime Nickel) have both been adopted in this generation. These batteries are smaller and lighter that (sic) before, enabling installation under the rear seats.
